I think I'm limited to a 140 gr bullet in this caliber (?) but I need to max this sucker out...any experience out there with premium bullets in this round? -thanks


I've shot 5 sheep and 7 caribou. As North American game go, these two animals are, pound-for-pound, among the easiest animals to put down. They aren't even in the same league with an elk or goat or even a whitetail. Put a proper bullet in the right place, and you'll have meat in the freezer and horns on the wall. But make a bad shot, and you'll be in for an adventure, with any bullet.

My choice would be the 140 Nosler PT for both animals. In fact, this is the bullet I used for my bighorn, my Stone, and a west Texas aoudad. And out of a 7mm Mag, this bullet claimed two NWT caribou.

Go forth and have fun, and don't fret over your bullet.

I was hoarding when hoarding wasn't cool.
